Chapter 119: Chapter 92: Three in Just One Year!?
’Or perhaps they just haven’t had the chance to approach me yet and ask for an introduction to Su Sheng.’
Before attending the Xin Xia Federation meeting, Jin Cai had specifically sent a message to ask Wen Tao.
If someone wanted to contact Su Sheng through him, should he help with the introduction?
Wen Tao’s reply was that as long as it was a Celestial Destiny Seeker seeking help, he could bring them to Starlight City.
As for whether Su Sheng could or was willing to provide treatment, that was entirely up to Su Sheng himself to decide.
Before giving Jin Cai this reply, Wen Tao had deliberately called to ask for Zhong Yi’s opinion.
For Zhong Yi, healing the damaged Origins of other Celestial Destiny Seekers was a trivial matter.
Whether it was obtaining Guardian Beasts and materials from the other Celestial Destiny Seekers after treatment, or earning a favor from them...
For Zhong Yi, who had just arrived in the Guardian Beast World and had yet to establish a foundation, it was all very profitable.
After a long moment, the assembled Celestial Destiny Seekers finally calmed down.
The Sleep Emperor fiddled with the ring on his index finger and spoke to a man sitting in the third seat to his left.
The man wore a plain cyan robe with lotus leaves embroidered on the side and an emerald, cicada-shaped brooch pinned to his collar.
"Cicada Lotus, all these years in Kyoto, you’ve been focused on internal administration, responsible for managing the City Control Department."
"But I know your ambitions lie elsewhere!"
"Back then, if you hadn’t been schemed against by the Blazing Kite Federation at the World Destiny Conference, you wouldn’t have been forced into this decline."
"I’ve always felt that I stole your spot as one of the Three Emperors. This might be an opportunity for you."
The Sleep Emperor and Cicada Lotus were close friends, even though they were not Celestial Destiny Seekers from the same generation.
But the two had forged a deep friendship and had even explored Secret Realms together.
The Sleep Emperor had a quiet personality, preferring tranquility over action.
But he was also very perceptive and made an effort to understand the people around him.
The Sleep Emperor had once seen the magnificent ambitions in Cicada Lotus’s eyes, and now, ripples of emotion stirred once again in those same, composed eyes.
"Sleep Emperor, there are no ’what-ifs.’ You fully deserved your position as one of the Three Emperors."
"If I can recover, though, I might just go after that turncoat She Monarch’s position."
Hearing Cicada Lotus mention the She Monarch, the expressions of the Celestial Destiny Seekers in the room all changed in various ways.
But no matter who it was, it was clear they all strongly agreed with Cicada Lotus’s "turncoat" label for the She Monarch.
Celestial Destiny Seekers generally choose to represent the Heroic City of their birth.
Some Celestial Destiny Seekers who receive unfair treatment in their birth city, or who simply feel uncomfortable there, can choose to join another Heroic City.
Any Heroic City would be extremely welcoming to a Celestial Destiny Seeker from the Xin Xia Federation.
If not for the Xin Xia Federation’s clear rule forbidding the poaching of other cities’ Celestial Destiny Seekers—unless the Seeker wanted to switch on their own—
the Celestial Destiny Seeker groups from every Heroic City would have long since been trying to lure away talent from elsewhere.
It wasn’t uncommon for Celestial Destiny Seekers to change cities. For example, Kyoto itself hadn’t originally produced that many Celestial Destiny Seekers.
Kyoto currently had over thirty Celestial Destiny Seekers, and more than half of them came from other Heroic Cities.
In just ten short years, the She Monarch had moved between and joined six different Heroic Cities, and was currently staying in Longya City.
Many people, including Cicada Lotus, disliked the She Monarch’s turncoat behavior.
Dian Ying watched Jin Cai, who was still standing in front of his seat, and helplessly smoothed a strand of hair back from her forehead.
Not long ago, Ximu City had lost a Celestial Destiny Seeker due to the emergence of the Mass Divine Sect.
This had a huge impact on Ximu City!
Even now, Ximu City had not shaken off the gloom of losing a Celestial Destiny Seeker.
This time, Ximu City had finally managed to produce another Celestial Destiny Seeker with a potential rating of S+ Level.
But now, all the attention and spotlight had been stolen by this new Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker from Starlight City.
Just as Dian Ying thought Jin Cai was about to sit down, she saw him give a sly chuckle.
If any Celestial Destiny Seeker from Starlight City were to see Jin Cai’s smile at that moment, they would surely find it even more exaggerated than the smile one would have when their family’s Golden Phoenix Chicken laid a golden egg.
"Originally, our Starlight City only reported two Celestial Destiny Seekers. One with a potential rating of S Level, and one with a potential rating of SSS Level."
"But just before this meeting began, I received a message. Our Starlight City has produced another Celestial Destiny Seeker."
Jin Cai’s words made some of the Celestial Destiny Seekers in the room gasp.
’Are Celestial Destiny Seekers from your Starlight City wholesale this year?’
’Three in a single year!?’
’How are the other Heroic Cities supposed to compete with Starlight City!?’
The Sleep Emperor looked at Jin Cai with some surprise, then smiled and said,
"Congratulations to Starlight City for producing another Celestial Destiny Seeker. Is this new Seeker’s potential rating S Level?"
"If it’s S Level, there’s no need for a special introduction."
Jin Cai shook his head at those words.
"Lord Sleep Emperor, this introduction is quite necessary. The potential rating we are reporting for this new Celestial Destiny Seeker from Starlight City is SS Level."
"His name is Shen Xuan. His Order Beast is the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother, a Poison Attribute Order Beast."
"The Rule his Order Beast has mastered possesses the Ability to erode all things, and it can even erode other Rules."
"Furthermore, Shen Xuan’s Beastmaster Talent is extremely compatible with his Order Beast, allowing him to fight in coordination with it."
"Although this rating was jointly determined by two of Starlight City’s Celestial Destiny Seekers, I believe that since we’ve reported it, it will surely pass the evaluation of the Celestial Destiny Society Headquarters."
What!?
’Starlight City didn’t just produce a third Celestial Destiny Seeker this year!?’
’This third one even has a potential rating of SS Level!’
Among the Celestial Destiny Seekers present, there were indeed some who doubted the potential rating Jin Cai had announced.
But everyone knew that Starlight City would not joke about the potential rating of a new Celestial Destiny Seeker.
After all, if a reported potential rating failed to pass the evaluation of the Celestial Destiny Society Headquarters, all the Celestial Destiny Seekers in that city would have their Potential Points deducted.
An incident like that in a Heroic City could very well cause discontent among its Celestial Destiny Seekers, leading them to leave for other Heroic Cities.
Jin Cai satisfactorily admired the expressions on the faces of the other Celestial Destiny Seekers.
The moment he sat down, Jin Cai suddenly felt a bit tired from all the showing off today.
He had lived for most of his life, and not even the day he awakened his Soul Base and became a Celestial Destiny Seeker felt as satisfying as that moment just now.
After Jin Cai sat down, Dian Ying stood up and gave an introduction for Ximu City’s new Celestial Destiny Seeker.
Just as Dian Ying had expected, it didn’t cause any stir.
The Sleep Emperor simply made a note of it and nodded at her.
"The potential ratings for the new generation of Celestial Destiny Seekers have been confirmed. There is one last item on the agenda."
"That is, how should we conduct the City Resources Competition six months from now?"
"I have two proposals here. The first is to do as we have in previous years: the new generation of Celestial Destiny Seekers from each city will first lead their six-person squads to battle against each other."
"Each city will be left with one squad, and then the squads from the thirty cities will compete in a round-robin."
"Based on the results of the competition, each city will earn a different number of points."
"These points will then be multiplied by the number of new Celestial Destiny Seekers from the past ten years to determine the final score."
"The second proposal is divided into two parts. In the first part, each city will send two Celestial Destiny Seekers to represent them in arena battles. The city will gain points based on their ranking in these battles."
"In the second part, all the Celestial Destiny Seeker squads from every city will be placed together into an artificial Slaughter Secret Realm."
"Each squad will be randomly deployed to different locations within the Slaughter Secret Realm, and they will earn points for their respective cities based on the order of elimination."
"The second proposal will no longer be related to the number of new Celestial Destiny Seekers a city has, but will instead place more emphasis on the overall strength of that city’s new generation."
"I personally support the second proposal."
"My Order Beast had a breakthrough not long ago. If I oversee the creation of the artificial Slaughter Secret Realm, there will be no safety issues whatsoever."
